Call them conservatives, neo-Nazis, or neo-fascists. They're all the same. They are comprised of three distinct groups, all calling themselves patriots and Christians, just like the Nazis of Germany.
The first, and predominant trouble makers are the elite materialists and self-centered control freaks at the top who want all the power and money for themselves. They un-patriotically rail against our government and its institutions and programs that are working for the people, because, as the Nazis, their ultimate goal is not to serve the people but to control them. They employ the devil's tools of innuendo, slander, confusion and blatant lies to achieve their goals.
A second group comes from the bottom of society's barrel with a "storm trooper" mentality. Also intensely self-centered, they are too lazy or too ignorant to do for themselves, and want to blame others for their material lack. They blindly follow the leaders who lead them to believe their misfortune is fault of others, thereby justifying their prejudices and hatred. These are the ones who actually kill and destroy - totally the opposite of how a true Christian would think and act.
The last group stands in the middle of the first two groups. Like the storm troopers, they are too mentally lazy to accept challenges of deciding what is best for the populace, so they to simply blindly follow their leaders. Fortunately they are too cowardly to physically kill or destroy. They do, however, often discourage, denigrate and destroy by use of their vile tongues - all in the name of Christ, who actually condemned such attitudes.
This sums up the type people in the current Republican Party. Similar attitudes, though, can occasionally be found in a few members of the Democratic party. For example, it wasn't Republicans that stormed the Democratic Convention in 1968. As a more recent example, homosexuals are bringing lawsuits against Christian churches to force those churches to hold their marriage ceremonies, even though homosexuality is diabolical to Christianity. Often they don't really want to be married in a church. They only want to embarrass Christians with an "I gotcha!"
The most intelligent and acceptable attitude for a stronger society is to respect each person as a human being with differing beliefs and attitudes from your own, excepting when they harm others or their properties. In other words, I won't step on your toes and you don't step on mine. If you do step on my toes by slandering or harming me or mine don't expect me not to retaliate - preferably in a lawful manner.
